Rolling Thunder 2 (GEN)

Dragon Force (SAT)
I didn't end up purchasing any games in December (I was tempted by a few things but decided to pass), but wanted to share the games that I picked up throughout October and November!
Rolling Thunder 2 was my first pick up in October. I actually hadn't played this game when originally released or in the arcade, but I really enjoy action platformers, so I was interested in tracking it down. The fact that it's co-op is a huge bonus, as I'm always looking for good co-op games. The graphics and cutscenes are impressive IMO, and it's great that it's action packed without any slowdown.
Sonic R, I actually picked up through the 2021 Racketboy Charity Auction, so thank you to Blu for getting this to me quickly. This game was more of an oddity for me, as I thought it'd be fun to have this in the collection to switch things up when I was in the mood for a different kart racer. The controls take a bit of time to get used to but the gameplay's fun and the soundtrack is amazing, IMO.
Dragon Force was a big grail for me, as my childhood friend had the game, and I have a lot of good memories hanging out at his place and playing through it on Saturday afternoons. The condition of this copy is good, but some of the ink on the manual is starting to chip. That's how it goes with these older games! But really happy that I was finally able to track this one down. Hopefully I can complete one of the scenarios next year!
Nice pick ups, Note. They look great.
